Glimpses Of Maori Land Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Glimpses of Maori Land French thinker says, When one has lived four weeks in London, one feels one could write a thick volume about the English; when one has lived there a year, one begins to have doubts on the subject; and when one has lived there ten years, one gives up the projected volume in despair.' There is, however, as a rule, a compensating freshness and vividness about first impressions which, with a riper knowledge, one may often vainly strive to recall; and for this reason, and also because our sea and land experiences were of a somewhat unique character, I have ventured to reproduce some part of our home budgets in more permanent form. On one or two points it may be well to Speak categorically at the outset, so that any chance of misapprehension on the important subject of mission work may be avoided.
